Steps

In How to define your vizMap application - Dictionary we covered defining fields that can be referenced in a vizMap application. Now its time to use them. Go to the step by step join sheet and launch the visualization button. This will fire off a Google Earth or Google Maps session that will look something like this, when you click on one of the markers. Note that the infoWindow has Tabs, and each tab will show a different view of your transactional data. For more detail on tabs see VizMap Tabs

Setting up tabs

Look at the parameter block named Tabs in the step by step parameters sheet. Each row corresponds to a tab in the infowindow above, and each column describes a visualization type that can be included in each tab. The number of rows define the number of tabs that will be shown in an infowindow. You can add as many or as few as you want. The body of the table describes your dictionary items that will be used to populate these visualization types. For more detail on this see VizMap Tabs, VizMap Measures, and for how to position each visualization relative to each other in the infoWindow see VizMap Element positioning.

Measures are used to summarize your data for charting. Look at the measures parameter block. You'll see that some of the dictionary items that used the same input column are shown here with different summary treatment.

What just happened ?

The Tabs parameter block describes the contents of each infowindow. If you dont need tabs, then you probably dont need a vizMap application. Instead try How to put markers on maps - its much easier to set up since there is not the concept of transactions and master data.
